Hi if I claim money back for washing work clothes is this classed as a windfall ? I can claim back from 2008 not sure how much I will get yet they said I just need to write to them, thanks

Hi, I'm not sure about this. I have been claiming this for my husband for a long time so not had a refund as such, they just amended tax code. Be worth a word with your IP in the first instance.

try that Luluj. My hubby buys his own tools too for his job so we do tend to claim for everything.

Also you can claim from 2008 to now then your tax code will change
